Benelli--what to expect

[lucygirl]

Hi everyone! I'm fairly new to the site, and am having my BL/breast augmentation next week. I am having a Benelli lift + 375 cc saline implants. I have moderate sag in my right breast and although the left one isn't as saggy, will be having a lift on both. I am nervous mainly about the discomfort with the incisions and what the recovery will be like. Of course I am also worried how my areolas will look in the long run as well. Will they still look nice and natural? Any advice would be appreciated! I haven't posted my pre-breast augmentation pics yet, I haven't even let my husband see them (even though of course he has seen the real things!) as I just am uncomfortable with them. Maybe when I have nice big boobs, I'll post the befores!

I wish I had answers for u but I haven't had mine done yet. Im scheduled for next March. Its the only time I can take a week off work. I'm going with the loli-pop lift and 350 salines. At least that's the size I'm leaning towards. I'm nervouse about the recovery part too. Everyone here seems to say no matter what the degree of pain, its worth it. Good luck!

Hi send me friend request and you can see my albums.. I have now had 2 benelli lifts as i have bad bad skin.. the first lasted me 8 months and i was unhappy, technically i need a full lift but because i am relocating soon i picked a benelli redo easier healing.. im great.. by day 2 i was off pain meds and fine...my scars look ALOT better the 2nd time..

are you going under the muscle or over?? if its over it should be a breeze.. it if it under you will have discmfort from what i hear 7-10 days ....its an easy lift... and dont be freaked out if you see your nipples lookin all wrinkled and weird looking, they will return to normal no worries...

There isn't really any discomfort from the incisions themselves at all. All the discomfort comes from the breast itself, I had overs and it was a little achy/painful but not too bad. Maybe a 3-4 out of 10.

I scarred worse that I would like, but most people's periareolar scars seem to be nearly invisible. I think I just scar badly. I am having a scar revision on one area of mine in Nov or Dec where it formed a thick hypertrophic(?) scar. And like moo said, if it looks all wrinkled and puckered around the areola, that will smooth out. Mine barely was because my PS didn't take a lot off but it is totally smooth now.

Thanks everyone for the replies! I think the hardest part is just wanting to see immediate results and knowing that it will take some time for the incisions to heal. I know it will give me much better results than just the breast augmentation alone, so hoepfully it will all be worth it!

Hiiii, I got a benneli lift too w implants. I'm 3 weeks nd a half and the incision is barely visible nd I have perfect round areolas. I love them cuz I had them reduced, mine were pretty big . The first couple days ur gonna feel burning.but that goes away. I was worried about how they were gonna look after but u have to trust ur dr. At first my nipples looked so weird nd weren't a perfect circle nd I was worried but now they r awesome! Lol
